Accountability

1 Corinthians 5 talks about purging evil from the church (v13). Paul is addressing a situation with sexual immorality, but also mentions other sins in v11. This relates to Mark's lesson on Sunday - letting sin into our lives and tolerating it in other members causes problems to spread in the church.

Bottom line: We need to hold each other accountable for our actions. Not in a nit-picky way, but in love. We need to know each other well enough to feel comfortable asking tough questions when you think someone may be on the wrong path.

If we commit to this, hopefully we can avoid getting to the point of needing to purge evil from among us.
